Kukuruku Recordings

Kukuruku is primarily concerned in presenting independent works of sonic/ music exploration and it focuses on productions made under intimate or ‘personal’ circumstances (usually meaning home, live or field recordings). It stands between free improvisation and free folk, field recordings and sound poetry, electroacoustic composition and sound installations; but most of all it traces recordings that possess a spontaneous and ephemeral essence, much like in the way of testimony snapshot photography. Its editions also function as a platform for creative artwork made by the musicians them selfs or in collaboration with the kukuruku team. Kukuruku started as a small cd-r label operating from Athens, Greece curated by the sound artist Tasos Stamou and currently based in London, UK. During the past few years of its operation it has presented works of various emerging avant-garde musicians through its editions and organized events, also increasingly gaining the attention of rather established creators in the field of exploratory music, who have joined the team with enthusiasm. It has eventually expanded its editions into broader fields of sonic interest and new music formats (CD and LP). kukuruku: Originally a sweet snack popular to the youngsters during the ‘80s, the word is a term of the Greek slang that is often used to describe something odd or irrational, a matter of irrelevance, also to depict a spontaneous or an absolutely crazy behavior.
